• Swindler:

Initial Equipment

When you finish the last occupation for a character and elect to "begin
adventuring," the initial party members receive equipment. Additional
characters created during the game bring no equipment with them. This
prevents you from constantly adding characters, taking their equipment,
then dismissing them to add others, etc.

• Alchemical Potions: Each character receives one potion for each

formula he or she knows. If sold, these potions can provide a starting party
with valuable "working capital" to buy more immediately useful items
(such as armor and weapons, or components for more potions).

• Weapons: Starting characters each begin with a weapon. The

character's single best weapon skill determins which is received:

wEdg (Edged weapons)	Shortsword
wImp (Impact weapons)	Club
wFll (Flails)	Military flail
wPol (Polearms)	Short spear
wThr (Thrown weapons)	throwing knife
wBow (Bows)	Short bow
wMsD (Missile devices)	Crossbow

• Armor: The last occupation of a character determines what armor, if

any, is received.
